He is the author of three books, The Sources of Moral Agency, Emotions, Values, and the Law, and An Introduction to Ethics (2010). He was the editor of Ethics from 1997 to 2008. David Dolinko is Professor of Law at the University of California, Los Angeles. His research interests focus on the philosophical underpinnings of criminal law. He has published articles on retributivism, capital punishment, and the privilege against self-incrimination.

There is no denying that Deigh and Dolinko have put together a remarkable collection packed with insight and intelligence. Many important topics in philosophy of criminal law are covered, and many of these essays are the very best surveys on their topics. ... In addition, the level of sophistication of many of these essays makes the book a useful resource not only for those unfamiliar with the field but also for veterans.
